Chemical Structure

3-(Naphthalen-1-yloxy)propanoic acid CAS 16563-41-0 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 3-(Naphthalen-1-yloxy)propanoic acid (C13H12O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies 3-(Naphthalen-1-yloxy)propanoic acid (CAS 16563-41-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H12O3, MW 216.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(Naphthalen-1-yloxy)propanoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
